Greetings, oh, purveyors of Perl Wisdom... I have a link in a CGI-generated page that creates a popup when clicked on to provide the user with some specific information. Instead of receiving the web page, I get the HTML source code. (The Perl variables interpolate correctly.) The problem only occurs in Mozilla & Netscape. The code uses very simple code: 

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

print "
<html><head>
<title>Title Goes Here</title><META HTTP-EQUIV=\"Pragma\" CONTENT=\"no
+-cache\">
<style type=text/css>
<!--
.bodydef {  font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-s
+ize: 9pt; 
color: #000000; line-height: normal; list-style-type: disc}H4       { 
+ 
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; c
+olor: 
#000000; line-height: normal; list-style-type: disc}--></style>

</head>

<body onload=\"self.focus();\">

<div align=left class=bodydef>


        <h4>Test Page</h4>

        The total cost of \$$HASH{foo} includes a \$$HASH{bar} Fee and
+ a \$2 Assistance Fee per person.
        <br><br>

    </body>
</html>";

I suspect it is something to do with the HTTP HEADER construction... Thoughts? Thanks! Kevin J.
